Brady was also named the Super Bowl's most valuable player for the fourth time in his illustrious career while the Atlanta Falcons were denied a maiden NFL title.
"We all brought each other back," an emotional Brady said as a shower of confetti fell on the field inside NRG Stadium. "We never felt out of it. It was a tough battle."
"They (Atlanta) have a great team, I give them a lot of credit. We just made a few more plays than them."
